Look, they brought in Fernando Alonso, sure, but even if they’d kept Massa as the lead driver, they wouldn't have missed the mark...
But hey, if he isn't the number one, I honestly don't see anyone better than the second driver right now...
I mean, we can talk all we want, but Kubica wouldn't settle for being a second driver any more than Massa would, so I don't really see the point in these kinds of transfers... or any of these announcements 🤷
If they really want Alonso and want to build a career around him, then damn, they better find him a solid teammate, because with Massa, Alonso is never winning a championship....
He'll just end up stealing points, and it'll be just like Alonso and Hamilton at Mercedes.

rustystag7 said:I still don't quite grasp why Felipe Massa is being underestimated so much....
Sure, they brought in Alonso, but even if they had kept Massa as their lead driver, they wouldn't have missed the mark...
But hey, if he isn't the number one, I honestly don't see a better option than a solid second driver...
I mean, we can debate this all day, but guys like Kubica wouldn't be satisfied just playing second fiddle, and neither would Massa, so I don't really see the point in these kinds of transfers... or any of these big announcements 🤷
If they truly want Alonso and plan to build his career around him, then they really need to find him a top-tier wingman, because alongside Massa, Alonso is never going to secure a championship....
He’ll just end up stealing points, and you'll end up with a situation similar to Alonso and Hamilton at Mercedes.

Thomas Morales13 said:creates endless headaches for his teammates, making it nearly impossible for them to fight for the title alongside him.
Thomas Morales13 said:So Massa isn't even a title contender after all.
Thomas Morales13 said:Massa is definitely quick, but he just lacks that consistency, grit, and tactical intelligence you see in guys like Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton. It’s a tough spot to be in; if the car isn't absolutely perfect, Massa probably won't clinch a title. Plus, he tends to throw wrenches in the works for his teammates, making their own championship runs a lot harder. Honestly, he’s not quite championship material, nor is he the ideal number two driver. He's kind of a wildcard...
Jason Campbell70 As for the passing move Fernando made...
Maybe it would be ideal to just look the other way every single time someone spots Fernando Alonso?
Jason Campbell70 said:So, what you're saying is it would be ideal if he just pulled out of the way every single time he saw Fernando Alonso?
If Massa were truly that far behind, Alonso would be slicing past him effortlessly. But that’s just not how it’s playing out on track.
remembering 2008 😉

Let's go, Gumbek, defend that title!👋
The passing move on Felipe? Look, if he wasn't my teammate, people probably wouldn't be making such a huge deal out of it—to me, it was just a standard move and it isn't going to mess with how we work together. We've got serious potential here, so we just need to hope for more clean races like the one we saw in Bahrain.
Quote : as for The passing move Fernando made, I hit a patch of water coming out of the hairpin and lost a bit of grip—he managed to dive inside me and pull ahead right before the pit lane. I dropped a few spots because of it, since I had to sit around waiting for his pit stop to wrap up.

Look, they brought in Fernando Alonso—but even if they’d stuck with Massa as their lead driver, they wouldn't have missed the mark...
